Jamstomorrow Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I am guessing not a pair of Pretty Polly's, but some athletic type for heat and circulation to help muscles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure they are, but rugby players really. We moan about football players feigning injury and diving, but rugby players are meant to be big tough guys.

Kennedy Bakircioglu Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Loads of rugby players wear 'tights' for pitches that are artificial / semi-artificial. It's basically to avoid the cuts and scrapes, rather than to avoid 'feeling cold'. Nothing wrong with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo-Jimbo Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Worn them many a time, back in my running days in the 70's (everybody did, well most everybody back then), helped to keep your legs warm when training in the winter, especially on freezing cold winterly nights. You'd be surprised just how quickly your legs/muscles get cold in the winter, and cold muscles is just asking for trouble. Wintergreen oil rubbed into your legs (local chemist used to mix up his own recipe) & tights used to help keep your legs warm and thus helped protect your leg muscles from injuries.

Captain Slog Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 When I left Scottish Widows in the early Nineteen ninties, to take a post in Liverpool, my leaving gift was a perm kit, California blonde dye, and a shellsuit so i would feel at home among the Liverpool natives. I had a mullet at the time. Needless to say, I got a number one at the barbers the very next day to remove it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
